The Returner

“Commencing re-fire! ”

The shooting of M-3, which stopped for days, restarted.

A vision overlooking the satellite was instantly covered in dust. M-3 is characterized by a moderate heat wave or afterstorm. Unlike other warheads that try to put as many areas as they can explode into a kill radius, M-3 is a weapon with the development goal of 'You can only catch one at a time.'

The M-3's bombardment was telling us how much of this dirt is being poured out here right now.

“We're hit! We're hit!" ”

The deputy's voice is tearing apart.

He is also getting excited. The accomplishments that M -3 is making right now were tremendous enough for him to lose his mind and scream, having been through so much despair.

Conventional weapons sweep away the horses that couldn't catch a single one properly.

All the existing M-3s were placed here, and if that one step, if that country was worth anything, it would have cost me enough to shake my back, but it worked.

As a result of the cultivation of M-3, if the United States fails, it is a business that remains if it can stop the mathematics.

It's better than dying.

Even now, if the Minister of Finance had seen it, the bubbles were pouring down the shells.

‘Dammit, what does money have to do with this situation? ’

Money is only meaningful if you survive. I had a pile of money, but now I have no use for it.

At the end of the day, the value of resources goes up more than that.

Fortunately, the United States is a report on natural resources, and the resources to produce M-3 through exhibition seizures are unlimited.

And the effect was intense.

After the second shot, the dust settles.

“Wooooo!”

Christopher stands up and raises his arms. The debris from the horses, which became so bloodthirsty that they couldn't recognize the original shape, caught his eye.

“Enough!”

“Aaahhhh!”

Success! Success! Damn it! I turned those bastards into civilians! Aah! "

Those who were watching the situation in the Ops Room began to panic. It was an overly profound reaction, but it was also an understandable reaction given the fact that it had retreated and simply retreated without any remedies that could be used.

For more than a few months, those who were unilaterally beaten and wondered how to be less beaten and run away with an efficient line were the first to throw a counterpunch.

Without further combat, tonight was a situation everyone could understand, even if they squatted in beer and turned their beds into a pile of vomit.

“Calm down, everyone! ”

But not now.

It's too early to celebrate yet.

Despite their best efforts against the aircraft, they have only just succeeded in striking. If we coldly tailored the visible outcome, it would only overwhelm one tenth of the horse-drawn troops in the United States.

‘That's just great. ’

It was a very revolutionary past to send those horseshoes to the goal with just two shots.

“Reload!”

‘It's a shame. ’

A bullet that aims to unleash intense destructive power on a single shot. Therefore, it is the bullet of a concept that has never been conceived.

It didn't have to be this shocking to target a human being in a narrow space. It was much more efficient to widen the blast radius than to focus this much impact on one place.

It's not like you can't make ammunition to blow up a chariot in one shot. This necessarily increases the size of the bullet and makes it difficult to make it portable.

It was not built because it was much more efficient to blow up chariots with air missiles fired from helicopters. Nothing you couldn't build if you wanted to.

And it was the result of M-3 saying, 'Clear everything out and make ammo that can blow up the water.' The ability to move is close to zero, and there is no way to protect the turret. It's funny even if it's a purple ooze!

‘If only it worked. ’

Even if I went to Seoul, I was satisfied if it worked. It was difficult to classify weapons, and it was a contradiction to modern weapons systems, but what about it?

“Tell them to slow down their reloads! ”

“It's not easy because the ammo is too big. ”

The only disadvantage is that the amount of ammunition that can be loaded is too large. Even though the ropes are on the back of the truck, we don't have an automatic reload system yet.

I tried to reload more than a few hundred kilos of ammunition with my manpower, and it was hard to reload as fast as I thought.

Later, when M-3 was produced and started to erupt, it would be possible to split into groups and shoot, but it was meaningless now.

“What about the movements of the witches? ”

“No movement! It's stopped for now. ”

“I don't know when I'll go crazy, but tell them to secure the front barricades! ”

“Yes!”

Christopher's eyes sparkled.

‘Yes, you can! ’

At this moment, mankind had the only weapon available against the demons.

‘Not yet. ’

But this is not a time for peace of mind. It is not too late after making today's battle a perfect victory.

“Ooh, it's moving! The horses are moving! ”

“Which way?"

“We're heading right for M-3. Accelerate!”

“Hehe.”

Christopher clenches his fist.

‘Not what I thought. ’

As a human, it would be hard to tell where the bullet was coming from without observation equipment. They won't even know it's coming. They'll get caught in the explosion.

But the horses were different. Their telekinetic acuity was unbelievable compared to that of humans, and they were able to see and react with their eyes to flying ammunition at a speed that was hard for humans to detect.

“Barricade! Pull him up! ”

The distance between M-3 is unfortunately only 30 inches.

If the horses move to power, they can reach it in just 10 minutes.

“Tell them to go as soon as they reload! And send word to the men of the hour! Never let it go backwards. Do whatever you have to do to stop him in front of us! ”

“Yes!”

Christopher looks at the vision with anxious eyes.

Please!

This is where the fate of mankind is divided.

Christopher leaned against the chair for a while.

It's because I don't even have the strength to support myself anymore.

“… as of 23: 06. ”

The deputy swallows the needle once, slowly, very slowly... but in a clear voice.

“Enemy forces... eliminated. Repeat. Enemy forces destroyed. ”

Christopher didn't have the strength to smile.

I felt like my body was liquefied the whole time. The bones of the whole body soften and my body keeps flowing down.

“... You win. ”

But this was all I had to say.

I won.

Christopher smiles at the vision. Blood flows red and blue under the earth surrounded by darkness. In the vision next to which it was transformed into infrared mode, there was a land where no one was standing.

Finally...

For the first time since the Horsemen invaded, mankind has fought back against the Garuda Army.

“Damage?”

The deputy frowns on Crispur's question, thinking he can't smile yet.

“Extremely.”

“Precisely.”

“Over 40% of the mobilized talents have died. Including the wounded, more than half of the power has flown away. ”

“... Was it cheaper? ”

Fewer injuries are more likely than deaths, since many are attacked by horses and often end up with injuries.

Survived or died as a body. In that sense, 10% of the injured should be lucky. He's not dead.

To put it bluntly, it was devastating.

Near half of the power surges away. Of course, we didn't mobilize all of America's capabilities here, so it's not as big a loss as it sounds, but it is the same.

But Christopher was able to smile.

‘The candles were lit. ’

It has been confirmed that only the first type M-3 can handle the horses. So this is worth the risk.

In the future, M-3 will begin to be produced based on all capabilities in the United States, and it will not be difficult to bridge the gap between the capabilities as the firepower rises.

Moreover, with the addition of new weapons that are currently being developed based on M-3, humanity can gain the upper hand at least as much as in the battle of ground forces and horses.

If we could supply M-3 to other battlefields that are now geographically devastating, the global human counterattack would begin.

“Time has been prolonged. ”

Christopher clenches his fist.

Now the horses can be stopped. The presence of the Demon King remains, so it is not enough to claim victory, but at least until now, the waves of brutish sorcerers can be stopped.

If the Demon Kings continue this situation a little longer, Lee Hyuk will be back, and at the same time, they will be able to fight back.

If Christopher knew Lee Hyuk, he would never have trained to stop witches. He was always the key digger, and the point of the situation was not the Shaman King.

“If Lee Hyuk and Alpha are in charge of the Demon Kings, the ground can be cleared. ”

Even the development of a weapon that works on horses can change things dramatically. My heart feels that humans have evolved with weapons as well.

“Now it's our turn to strike. ”

“Oh, I don't think so. ”

Christopher's heart dropped to his toes.

Suddenly, the blood stops and the heart grows. Then it felt like the stopped blood was spinning backwards.

A loud, low voice, coming from behind his back, is causing Christopher to flinch.

“… who are you? ”

I didn't look back.

I couldn't bear to look back. We don't look back to catch the foam. It is because I do not have the courage to check the person behind my back.

That's why Christopher had to ask, knowing who was behind his back.

The Demon King.

Who would make such a voice if not for the Demon King?

Who else could enter the Pentagon without hesitation except the Demon King?

The pinnacle of their opponent is now behind Christopher's back.

“That's a good question. It's a bit of pride to have to answer every little human being. If there's anything I want, I'll have to be polite. As you can imagine, I am what you call the Demon King. ”

“Of course.”

“But it's different. ”

Christopher slowly turns away as he hears the voice behind his back.

should be checked.

How immense is the real threat in front of him.

And why he's here.

“I can't just be the Demon King. In other words, based on human crude language... Yes, it's childish, but I should call it that. It's the king of the weed.”
